About The Position

As a Production Security Designer, you will develop and execute security plans for Apple's film and photography productions in public and semi-public environments from pre-production through wrap. You will serve as the on-ground authority for asset protection, threat detection, and controlled execution in dynamic, multi-vendor environments without consistent infrastructure. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting rapid pre-production risk assessments (physical, technical, human) with incomplete data, conducting location tech scouts, deploying obfuscation techniques, and maintaining perimeter integrity without disrupting creative or production flow. You will lead on-set incident response (loss, exposure, confrontation, media compromise) and execute lockdown protocols during the filming of unreleased products. You will also be responsible for the ongoing development of the Production Security Design policy — ensuring it reflects current threats, emerging technologies, and the operational realities of modern productions. As production environments increasingly incorporate AI tools, generative content platforms, and advanced manufacturing capabilities, you are responsible for identifying emerging threats and developing policies that address them — ensuring Apple's security posture remains ahead of the risk curve.
